Configuring your DVD player

Introduction

Congratulations – if you have followed the installation 
instructions then the required connections to other equipment 
will have been made. It is now essential to go through an 
initial set up procedure to ensure the DVD player is configured 
correctly for use.

Switching the power on

Press in the 

POWER

 button on the front panel. The power LED 

above the switch lights green.

Obtaining a TV picture

Ensure the TV is switched on and that you have selected the 
correct TV input. You should see the following image. This is 
the image that the DVD player gives whenever there is no disc 
playing.

To protect your screen from damage caused by persistent 
static images, a ‘screen saver’ facility activates after a few 
minutes of inactivity. (To stop the screen saver, press 

STOP

 on 

the front panel or remote control.)

Using the Set-up menus

If you have not already done so, now would be a good time to 
fit the two AAA batteries in the remote handset, taking care 
to get them the correct way round. Select ‘DVD’ using the 

CD/DVD

 button on the remote control.

Ensure that no disc is playing and press 

SETUP

 on the remote 

control: a menu appears on the TV screen.
The Set-up menu comprises seven pages of options. The top 
line of each page shows the page title, indicating the nature of 
the settings controlled by the page. To make a change, first 
use the 

UP/DOWN

 controls to highlight the item. Once the item 

to be changed has been highlighted, press 

RIGHT

 to open the 

list of options for the menu item. The current option for the 
menu item is shown highlighted; the 

UP/DOWN

 controls can be 

used to select the new option, then pressing 

LEFT

 confirms the 

selection and closes the option list.
To change page, highlight the page bar at the top of the 
screen and use the 

LEFT/RIGHT

 controls to move through the 

pages.
In the ‘Setup’ menu, the 

UP/DOWN

 controls ‘wrap around’, 

so that with the highlight bar at the bottom of the screen, 
pressing 

DOWN

 takes the bar to the top of the screen.
